HELMETS CAN'T PROTECT WHAT THEY DON'T COVER
A helmet protects only what it covers. It does not protect the neck or
any area of the head it doesn't cover. Always wear a helmet low in the
front to protect the forehead. Make .sure the helmet fits snugly and
toe straps are adjusted to hold the helmet firmly in place when
tightly fastened.
To be effective, the helmet must fit correctly. Try on the helmet. If
the helmet is too small, exchange it for the next size larger. The
helmet should fit snugly but comfortable. If the fit is comfortable
and the skin on your forehead moves with the helmet, a proper fit has
been accomplished. If not the helmet is too loose. Do not wear the
helmet tipped back on the head, because retention straps cannot be
property adjusted and the helmet may be ejected in an accident. If an
additional free sizing pod is included use in the event it is needed.
If your helmet has a Dial Fit System- just dial to fit. It has a
sell-positioning component that provides a stable, comfortable fit
that (eliminates forward and backward shift.)
ADJUSTING THE CHIN STRAP & FASTENING THE BUCKLE
WARNING: The chin-strap is an integral part of your helmet's
protection system. It must be property adjusted and used. The
chin-strap must fit well under the chin, up against the throat, and be
as snug as possible.
The buckle is fastened by clicking the two parts securely together. An
audible -Click" will you know the buckle is secured. To release the
buckle, gently squeeze on both sides of the buckle. Any helmet that
has a metal buckle and hook Clip the free end of the metal buckle over
the metal hook. Adjust the chin strap by pulling until you have
achieved snug but comfortable fit and soap leather above the hook in
place.
THE FINAL CHECK
A properly fitted, well adjusted, and correctly positioned helmet is
more likely to remain in place during an accident, will give the most
protection available for the design, and will be the most comfortable
to wear. With the helmet on and tightly fastened, try to remove it by
roiling it backwards and forwards as far as possible. The helmet
should not be able to be removed or roll backwards or forwards to
expose the forehead or obscure vision. Repeat fitting steps as
necessary until you have the correct fit.
All adjustments should be checked each time the helmet is worn, making
sure it fits snugly and correctly at all times. |
